Fire iu Swift Creek Township-
Wbiie Mr. E. 11. Carter was at
tending a fi**h supper with a party
of friends at McOowu’s Mill on
Monday night la*?, his store, about
four miles from town, iu the Swift
Creek neighborhood, was burned
to the gronud. The stock, which
was insured for 8500, was worth,
Mr. Curler says, some 8800. The
origin of the fire is a mystery, as
Mr, Carter says he has not had a
fire in the store this season; in
fact there is neither a stove nor
fireplace in the building.
Darlington’s Agricultural Specimens-
Some very handsome specimens
of vegetables are now to be wm n
at the News office. Mr. G. D.
Wilkes, of Tiinmousville, has
brought iu a mammoth tnruip,
which would make a meal for a
whole family. Mr. J. J. Pairott,
Jr., of Philadelphia sends in a pota
to weighing seven pounds, a further
description of which is, of course
unnecessary. Mr. O. M. Rhodes
has on exhibition a lot of red yam

Mr.Rhodes says they are but fair
specimens of bis entire crop. H«-

An Eloquent Divine
Tbe people of Darlington have
been enjoying an intellectual treat
during the past week. Kev. N. M.
Woods, D. D., of Columbia, whose
special mission is the advocacy ol
the establishment of a State Pres
byteriau Seminary for th* educa
tion of young ladies, has tieen
preaching at the Presbyterian
Church twice a day, and crowds
have been flocki .g to hear him. It
will be rememb red that on tue oc
casion of his previous visit to Dar
liugtou during the meeting of th -
Syuod, Dr. Woods madia ntaiked
impression upon our people. It is
safe to say that during the past
week this good imprensijo ii.<s beeu
cousiderabl.t increased Dr. Wo >ds

has gained many frii-uds for (he
noble cause which he so warmly

AJ\VondeifulJCooking;stove,
The Columbia Register aflords ns
the following description of the
latest wonder iu the way oi cook
iug stoves, which were exhibited
at the State Fair last week. These
stoves are on sale in Diiliug-ou at
the store of Mr. J. 0. White, who
gave our citizens last week an ex
hibitioii of thvir powers similar to
that discribed by the Register.
“Mr. Arthur Lovejny, represent
ing Messrs. Thomas Roberts,
Stevenson A Co., the manufacturers
of the wonderful gauze door cook
iug stoves and range*, had a de
cided success and carried off the
blue ribbon and first prize at our
Fair. Hundreds of delighted ladies
and gentlemen were profuse in
tiieir praise of the beautiful ligh's
bread baked in that wonder of
stoves without baking yowder. While
the Register representative was ex
amiuiug the exhibit, ho he«rd Dr.
O. E. Thomas speak very highlj
of the meals cooked on this great
household convenience of ihe nine
teenth century. Thirteen pounds
of roasted meat only lost in roast
iug fourteen ounces. The same
weight of moat roasted in any
tight-oven stove would only weigh
nine pounds or a li’tle over.
“The steaks broiled iu the oven
were rich, rare and juicy. Those
stoves broil steaks, birds, and fish
on both sides, without turning the
meat over. “Delightful! Charm
ing ! Wonderiul 1” were the ex-
c'amations heard on all sides.
Tables were full each day. Dr.
Griffin of the insane asylum and
Prof. Beattie of the Theological
Seminary both made purchases of
the stoves, and speak in very ful
some terms of their merits.
“Tbe food while cooking con
tinually absorbs fresh air, making
the edibles very healthful. Promi
nent features of this stove are:
They stand high, have large ovens
and corainodious shelves for dishes.
Numerous orders were taken on
the grounds. Mr. Lovejoy came
here fresh from his victory at the
Georgia State Fair, recently held
at Macon. He took two first prizes
there, also a silver medal.”
The Florence correspondent of
tbe yews and Courier says: “The
subject of the new county is again
being agitated. With a connty seat
at this point new life would coutiune
to flow through this community.
It is hoped that the next Legisla
ture will he. rk en to the appeal tor
the new county.”

The State Fair
[Condense'! from the News uni Oourisr. J
Columbia, Nov. 12—No faiier
day could have been wished for the
opening of the State Fair than this
has be«*u. The sunlight was vivid
and constant, the air bracing and
Columbia, after a period of rain,
was bright ami Uewh. For the first
time since the inauguration of the
animal lairs twenty years ago the
Exp-siriou was app anted to open
on Monday in-dead of Tuesdav, the
change being made in order to ex-
j pedite the placing of the exhibits
: aud to afford addiiio inl time f u- tbe
many incid.-u s of pl -asnre *-.u t
ansi ess wbicb crowd upon C-lum-
Jta while the Fair is open. Rot
while the Fair itself was up o the
usual standard of preparat ion on
the fiisr day, tbe chauge was too
uew to increase largely the custo
mary Monday atteu lance. The
grounds were, therefore, not popos
lated as they should have been, a.id
tbe impression about them was one
of expectation rather thau realiza
tion. Still there was a plenty of
ife about them. Exhibitors were
very busy, and the finishing touch
es were being applied here, there
and everywhere. The last nails
were being driven info tbe uew
grand stand, which is a much bet-
a-r architectural achievement than
its predecessors, aud the new citi
zens’ stand proved also to lie much
i u advance of tbe old suucture.
Since the edict of the mauaue-
ment against gaming and devices
of a gambling uatnre, the grounds
have never been as fall of booths,
tents and stands as they used to
be, but as a recompense the couu
try cousin will not suffei and there
will not be snch a jam wheu the
crowds come.
A survey of the field this morn
ing showed that all expectations
were being realised. The exuibit
of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
was as large as, if not larger than,
ever and the stock shown an- ot
remarkably fine character. The
poultry display, as Was expected,
is not np to the average. The ma
ch nery department is worthy itselt
of a day's study. The field crop
deptirim nt is ix-causc of agricul
tarsi disasters md as ftdi us usu d.
In tbe way ol special and miscei
laneou* exhibits there is much of
interest and the uumber of stalls
shows no decrease.
The fancy work department is
larger and handsomer tbuti e'»‘r
Tue ait gallery shows to l»et*er ad
vantage than last year, hut it* dis

partmeiit, as always, is crammed
with good things. Altogether the
Fair is hm good as any which has
ever been held here. The arena
was all day occupied by the exbibi
tors of horses, who sped their an
imals fieely with the view of prac
ticing them foi the eyes of the
judges later in the week.
An exhibit wihich will surprise
almost every visitor to the Fair is

The rush for school books at the
Book Store during tbe past ten

next ninety days, for the purpose
of having the newly adopUd books

that the old books are taken up and
new books given in exchange for

Columbia, November 13.—As
the public seems still to consider
this the first day of the Fair, it is
only reasonable to view it from the
standpoint of the first da-, aud
iu tilt* regard it must be pmuounc
ed success'ul. Thu morning was
cool and cloud- , but fortunately
there was no .ain, and by noou the
sun could be seen through a film
of light clouds. The afterno >n was
what iu weather service language
ie denominated “fair”, aud the tem
perature was pleas uulv fresh. The
attendance at the F.nr was of the
average volume of flist day crowds,
that is to say it was enough to be
icpresent.d in groups at all the at-
tractions on the extensive grounds,
but not enough to fill the areas coins
fortatth. Every department shows
laiprovciuont over yesterday, and
!>y evening the Fair us a vvh"lc was
in good reviewing sIi ijhs.
A new aud attractive feature, al
though a very small one, w.is i
miniature steam engine and saw

aud bis self devised and c-mstrucr-
ed engine, not more than a foot in
length and supplied with steam
from a big b"i!er near b», was very
much admired.
The bands gave comtair con
certs in front of the hotels, and
the street was cr -wded witn citi
zeusaud the strangers who pour- d
iu from all parts of the Sta e. The
hotel lobbies wore crowded and do-
true Fair week aspect was upon
everything.
During the day many stores had
added to their decorations of fl *gs
aud lanterns and the broad part«i
the City Hall building had be* u
profusely and richly decorated
with flags, parti colored shields ami
drapeiies of bunting.
Columbia, November 14.—The
third day of the State Fair opened
with gloom aud disaster, but for
